Dressing marks the life of every woman, giving an opportunity for creative expression of her personality. By combining aesthetics and symbolism, a special significance is given to the mere material form of clothing. The paper deals with the research of the perceptions of women's clothing in Sinj, with an emphasis on the generational difference. Symbolic and aesthetic aspects of clothing are explored, such as the way of choosing clothes and creative expression and decoration in clothing. Women's attitudes about clothes and dressing and their perceptions of fashion and style are examined. The research was conducted using the survey method, with a questionnaire as a measuring instrument. A total of 237 women between the ages of 18 and 65 participated in the research. The results indicate that older generations of women prefer comfort and quality, while younger women choose trends and brands when choosing clothes. Furthermore, younger generations of women wear jewelry more often than older women, and older women wear scarves and headscarves more often than younger women. There are different perceptions of fashion and style among women. Fashion is associated with creativity and expression as well as beauty and comfort, while style is associated with personality, identity and timelessness.
